No install instructions found in the README (−45 pts).
→ Add a section showing how to install dependencies.
Contributing guide is too short for full depth credit (−6 pts). 400+ words earns the full +12 pts.

No linter or formatter config found.
→ Add a linter config such as .eslintrc.json, .prettierrc, ruff.toml, or .golangci.yml to enforce consistent code style.
No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).
→ Commit the lockfile for this project's package manager so installs produce the same dependency versions everywhere.
CI is configured (.github/workflows/ci.yml).
Test files detected (bfg-benchmark/src/test).
Issue or PR templates present.

No dependency manifest detected at root.
→ Add a manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.) so others can install dependencies in one command.
No pushes in over a year (−80 pts).
→ A recent commit signals the project is alive and worth contributing to.
.gitignore present.
